Peggy and Stuart return home to find their son passed out after a party. They scold him. They blame each other for his upbringing. But something's wrong. They're enjoying themselves too much.
Every barb. Every comeback saved up over the years. Confronted with an empty nest, they finally have the chance to say it.

PEGGY I won't fight in front of our son while he's passed out. It might influence his subconscious.
STUART Why not? He's had casual sex for years. He's old enough to learn about relationships!
